This book, combining analysis and tools from mathematical probability, focuses on a sys-tematic and novel presentation of recent trends in pure and applied mathematics: theemergence of three fields, wavelets, signals and fractals. The unity of basis constructionsand their expansions is emphasized as the starting point for the development of basesthat are computationally efficient for use in several areas from wavelets to fractals.

The book brings together tools from engineering and math, especially from signal- andimage processing, and from harmonic analysis and operator theory. The presentation isaimed at graduate students, as well as users from a diverse spectrum of applications.

Key features:

• A hands-on approach for students, including tutorials and numerous exercises;

• Excellent motivation throughout;

• New pedagogical features: glossary of terms, their use in mathematics and in engineer-ing, help for cross-audiences, image processing, visual presentation of key algorithms,structure and geometry of big matrix computations, explanation of uses of the theoryin applications outside of mathematics;

• Includes more than 50 figures with captions, illustrating the main ideas, plus engineeringdiagrams, graphic renditions of algorithms, and separate illustrations;

• Separate sections in the book explain engineering terms to mathematicians, and opera-tor theory to engineers;

• Each chapter concludes with a helpful guide to the literature allowing students to followup on the topics in the book.
